How to use it

Measure each straight fence run

  1. Measure along the fence centerline and add every straight segment.
  2. Enter the project-specific maximum spacing.
  3. Mark connected runs that share a physical corner post.
  4. Add gate openings, fixed obstacles, or known post positions when needed.

Method

Equal spacing below the maximum

The TypeScript Calculator Core chooses whole intervals so actual spacing does not exceed the entered maximum, then reports every position from the segment start.

  • Straight centerline segments are assumed.
  • Shared physical corners are counted once.
  • The maximum spacing is a user input, not a universal rule.
